01.25.11 | I'd say look into both EPs Skrillex made, that's the only electronica I've heard so far. You should try it out. |
fulgrim
01.25.11 | Boards of Canada - Music has the right to children
Shpongle - Tales of the inexpressible |
starry
01.25.11 | I don't get 1 either, don't remember 2.
I agree with Skrillex, particularly the second EP called Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites. Delphic's Acolyte is nice electronic pop. For something more challenging and minimalistic StrangeZero - Newborn Butterflies. |
InFiction
01.25.11 | Dntel - Life Is Full Of Possibilities
I listen to this while I go to sleep. It's very calming. |
Deviant.
01.25.11 | You might wanna be a little more specific, electronica is a term that simply means electronic music. Like what have you heard and liked? |
